Blog Project : Our First Encounter

Our first project in Communication class, is to create a Blogger account. The purpose is rather simple; learn how to write. Now what is up with that?

Our goal with this project is focused on the content. How to create content and how to write it in the best way possible. By doing so, we can accurately convey the message to our target audience. 

When visiting a website, you will stumble upon the aesthetics, some content and the means to navigate around the site. Everything is part of a website’s design and in most cases, everything has been carefully planned out. Although this project touches only a small aspect when talking about content, however it is also very important to catch the user's attention as well. This plays a big role when dealing with websites.

Here are some examples:

• Eye-catching titles
• Bite-size sentences
• Intriguing images
• Clever layout

These are only a few examples that come into play when dealing with a website's content. Obviously there are more examples such as colors, fonts, and font sizes that are worth mentioning. However, this blog project is about communication; write content and convey the message clearly. The other design features will gradually appear as i continue practicing on Blogger, while learning more throughout my semesters.

Ultimately, it all comes down to knowing your target audience (or target group). If you know your target audience very well, you can can design content specifically to their needs. This means more satisfied users and that is the result a website strives for. A dysfunctional website is not useful to its users, and will result in the users searching for another website, to acquire their information.

Think about it. Have you never encountered a website that strikes you in a negative way or a positive way?
